حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا أحمد بن إدريس، عن محمد بن أحمد بن يحيى بن عمران الأشعري، قال: حدثنا إبراهيم بن إسحاق، عن عمر [و] بن إسحاق، قال: سئل أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: ما حد المستضعف الذي ذكره الله عز وجل؟ قال:
من لا يحسن سورة من القرآن وقد خلقه الله عز وجل خلقة ما ينبغي له أن لا يحسن.
7. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Idrees, from Muhammed bin Ahmad bin Yahya bin Imran al-Ash’ari, that he said: We were told by Ibrahim bin Ishaq, from Amru bin Ishaq, that he said: Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, said:
What is the limitation of the weakened individual whom Allah, Exalted and Glorious, mentioned? He said: The one who is unable to (properly recite) a chapter of the Qur’an, when Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, has created him in a manner that he should not be one who is unable to (do so).
